Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic power generation technology, and specifically to a photovoltaic module support. Background Technology

[0002] Photovoltaic power generation is a technology that directly converts light energy into electrical energy using the photovoltaic effect at semiconductor interfaces. It mainly consists of three parts: photovoltaic panels (modules), controllers, and inverters, with the main components being electronic parts. Photovoltaic panels typically need to be fixed to a support structure for use.

[0003] Existing support structures typically consist of multiple horizontal beams and multiple diagonal beams designed to intersect with the horizontal beams. When the diagonal beams are tilted along the terrain, the contact surface between the diagonal beams and the horizontal beams changes from a "surface" on the flat ground to a "line" after installation. This reduces the contact area, leading to increased pressure on the contact surface and affecting the stress distribution of the support structure. In other words, insufficient contact between the horizontal beams and the diagonal beams can easily lead to twisting and other conditions detrimental to the structural strength of the support. Utility Model Content

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a photovoltaic module support to solve the problems mentioned in the background section.

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, this utility model provides a photovoltaic module support, which includes multiple columns, multiple horizontal beams, and multiple inclined beams. The columns are connected to the horizontal beams. The characteristic feature is that the connection between the horizontal beams and the inclined beams is achieved by a support member. The support member includes a mounting bracket and a buffer block. The first end of the mounting bracket is connected to the horizontal beam, and the second end of the mounting bracket is connected to the inclined beam. The first end of the buffer block is detachably connected to the first end of the mounting bracket, and the end face of the second end of the buffer block is adapted to and in contact with the inclined beam.

[0006] Furthermore, the crossbeam has multiple pre-drilled holes at equal intervals along the transverse direction, and an angle steel is installed on the column.

The mounting bracket is provided with a first limiting bolt, and the threaded end of the first limiting bolt passes through the first limiting hole and the pre-drilled hole of the crossbeam in sequence to connect the first end of the mounting bracket and the crossbeam.

[0008] Furthermore, a limiting groove is provided on the mounting bracket, and the buffer block is disposed in the limiting groove and engaged with the inner wall of the limiting groove.

[0009] Furthermore, the buffer block is a rubber block.

[0010] Furthermore, the inclined beam has multiple pre-drilled holes, the second end of the mounting bracket has a second limiting hole, and the mounting bracket is provided with a second limiting bolt. The threaded end of the second limiting bolt passes through the second limiting hole and the pre-drilled holes in sequence to connect the second end of the mounting bracket and the inclined beam.

[0011] Furthermore, the column is connected to the crossbeam via an adjusting member. The adjusting member has multiple adjusting holes spaced evenly along the longitudinal direction. The column has positioning holes that correspond to the adjusting holes. The column is equipped with positioning bolts. The threaded end of the positioning bolts passes through the adjusting holes and the positioning holes in sequence to connect the column and the adjusting member.

[0022] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only one embodiment of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0023] To make the objectives, technical solutions and advantages of this application clearer, the following detailed description is provided in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and specific embodiments.

[0024] In the following description, references to "an embodiment," "an embodiment," "an example," "example," etc., indicate that the described embodiment or example may include a particular feature, structure, characteristic, property, element, or limitation, but not every embodiment or example necessarily includes that particular feature, structure, characteristic, property, element, or limitation. Furthermore, the repeated use of the phrase "an embodiment according to this application," while possibly referring to the same embodiment, does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.

[0025] like Figure 1-5 As shown, this utility model discloses a photovoltaic module support, which includes multiple columns 1, multiple crossbeams 2, and multiple inclined beams 3. The columns 1 are connected to the crossbeams 2. The feature is that the connection between the crossbeams 2 and the inclined beams 3 is achieved by a support member 4. The support member 4 includes a mounting bracket 41 and a buffer block 42. The first end of the mounting bracket 41 is connected to the crossbeam 2, and the second end of the mounting bracket 41 is connected to the inclined beam 3. The first end of the buffer block 42 is detachably connected to the first end of the mounting bracket 41, and the end face of the second end of the buffer block 42 is adapted to and in contact with the inclined beam 3.

[0026] The mounting bracket 41 connects the crossbeam 2 and the inclined beam 3, preventing the inclined beam 3 from contacting the crossbeam 2. When the crossbeam 2 or inclined beam 3 deforms due to environmental factors such as vibration or other conditions, the buffer block 42 disperses pressure and increases the contact area. The first end of the buffer block 42 is detachably connected to the mounting bracket 41, while the second end is adapted to the inclined beam 3, ensuring tight contact between the two. When the inclined beam 3 tilts, the buffer block 42 deforms accordingly, maintaining sufficient contact with the inclined beam 3, effectively preventing pressure concentration and uneven force distribution. If the existing buffer block 42 cannot contact the inclined beam 3 when it tilts, it can be removed and replaced with a new buffer block 42 adapted to the tilt angle of the inclined beam 3.

[0027] This utility model, by adopting a support member 4 containing an mounting bracket 41 and a buffer block 42, can effectively solve the problem of reduced contact area caused by terrain inclination in traditional structures, thereby improving the stress effect and stability of the bracket and providing a strong guarantee for the safe operation of photovoltaic modules.

[0028] In one embodiment, the crossbeam 2 has multiple pre-drilled holes 21 spaced evenly along its transverse direction. An angle steel 5 is installed on the column 1, with one end of the angle steel 5 connected to the column 1 and the other end of the angle steel 5 equipped with a fixing bolt 6. The threaded end of the fixing bolt 6 passes through the pre-drilled holes 21 in sequence, connecting the angle steel 5 and the crossbeam 2. This simplifies the connection between the crossbeam 2 and the column 1 and facilitates the horizontal adjustment of the crossbeam 2.

[0029] In one embodiment, the first end of the mounting bracket 41 has a first limiting hole 411, which is adapted to the pre-drilled hole 21 of the crossbeam. The mounting bracket 41 is provided with a first limiting bolt 412, the threaded end of which passes through the first limiting hole 411 and the pre-drilled hole 21 of the crossbeam in sequence, connecting the first end of the mounting bracket 41 and the crossbeam 2. That is, the spacing between multiple mounting brackets 41 can be determined according to the size of the photovoltaic module, thereby adjusting the spacing between multiple inclined beams 3. This makes the manufacturing of the crossbeam 2 and the mounting bracket 41 more modular, adaptable to various types of terrain and different specifications of photovoltaic modules, facilitating production and use.

[0030] In one embodiment, a limiting groove is provided on the mounting bracket 41, and a buffer block 42 is disposed in the limiting groove and engaged with the inner wall of the limiting groove, so as to facilitate the replacement of the buffer block 42.

[0031] In one embodiment, the buffer block 42 is a rubber block, which can more effectively distribute pressure, reduce wear and fatigue of the support components, and thus improve the safety of the entire photovoltaic module support.

[0032] In one embodiment, the inclined beam 3 has multiple pre-drilled holes 31, and the second end of the mounting bracket 41 has a second limiting hole 413. The mounting bracket 41 is equipped with a second limiting bolt 414, the threaded end of which passes sequentially through the second limiting hole 413 and the pre-drilled holes 31 to connect the second end of the mounting bracket 41 and the inclined beam 3, facilitating adjustment of the position of the inclined beam 3. In embodiments where there are no strict requirements for the bracket dimensions, the inclined beam 3 and the crossbeam 2 can also be made of the same specification of steel, with identical hole settings, meaning the crossbeam 2 and the inclined beam 3 are completely identical, further facilitating on-site bracket production and use.

[0033] In one embodiment, the column 1 is connected to the crossbeam 2 via an adjusting member 7. The adjusting member 7 has multiple adjusting holes 71 spaced evenly along its longitudinal direction. The column 1 has positioning holes corresponding to the adjusting holes 71. A positioning bolt 8 is provided on the column 1, and the threaded end of the positioning bolt 8 passes sequentially through the adjusting holes 71 and the positioning holes, connecting the column 1 and the adjusting member 7. By adjusting the connection position of the column 1 and the adjusting member 7, the height of the entire support structure can be adjusted, allowing photovoltaic modules suitable for undulating terrain to be positioned on the same plane as much as possible.

[0034] In one embodiment, both the column 1 and the adjusting member 7 are made of C-shaped steel. The column 1 is fitted onto the outside of the adjusting member 7, meaning the adjusting member 7 is inserted into the column 1. The height of the column 1 is adjusted according to the terrain by utilizing the overlapping portion of the adjusting member 7 and the column 1. The C-shaped steel design facilitates alignment of the adjusting hole 71 and the positioning hole by the operator, simplifying installation.

[0035] The construction process of this utility model embodiment is as follows:

[0036] After installing the column 1 onto the photovoltaic support foundation, insert the adjusting member 7 into the column 1. Adjust it to a suitable height according to the terrain and design requirements. Then, pass the threaded end of the positioning bolt 8 through the adjusting hole 71 and the positioning hole in sequence to fix the column 1 and the adjusting member 7. The angle steel 5 is connected to the column 1 through the adjusting member 7; that is, the angle steel 5 is installed on top of the adjusting member 7. Then, install the crossbeam 2 between the two adjusting members 7 according to the design requirements. Align the threaded hole on the angle steel 5 with the appropriate pre-drilled hole 21 on the crossbeam and connect the two using the fixing bolt 6.

[0037] Based on the designed inclination of the inclined beam 3, the corresponding buffer block 42 is installed onto the corresponding mounting bracket 41. The mounting bracket 41 is then placed on the crossbeam 2 and adjusted to a suitable position so that the first limiting hole 411 aligns with the corresponding pre-drilled hole 21 of the crossbeam. Then, the first limiting bolt 412 is used to connect the crossbeam 2 and the mounting bracket 41. After the mounting bracket 41 is installed, the inclined beam 3 is placed on the buffer block 42 on the mounting bracket 41. The position is determined according to the design requirements, and then the second limiting hole 413 aligns with the pre-drilled hole 31 of the inclined beam. The second limiting bolt 414 is then used to connect the inclined beam 3 and the mounting bracket 41.

[0038] This utility model, by adopting a support member 4 containing an mounting bracket 41 and a buffer block 42, can effectively solve the problem of reduced contact area caused by terrain inclination in traditional structures, thereby improving the stress effect and stability of the bracket and providing a strong guarantee for the safe operation of photovoltaic modules.
